Removing storage pool sets

Edit online

To remove one or more Storage Pool sets, follow these instructions.

Before you begin

Note: To resize a storage pool set, the storage pool must contain multiple sets.

Before you can remove Storage Pool sets, you must upgrade all Accesser® Nodes and Slicestor® Nodes to release 3.10.0 or newer.

Procedure

  1. In the Configure tab, click the Storage Pool that you want to replace.
  2. In the Slicestor Devices section, click Change Sets and Devices.
  3. Click Configure Set Removal.
  4. Select the Storage Pool sets you want to remove and click Save. The selected sets are now "pending removal."
  5. If additional set removals are to be configured, repeat steps 3-4. If other set changes are to be configured, perform those. Otherwise, from the Slicestor Devices section click Start Reallocation. A confirmation page appears.
  6. If the proposed set changes are correct, click Start Reallocation to begin data reallocation.
  7. Monitor the progress of the reallocation and ensure it continues to completion.
  8. Change the Storage Pool Reallocation Rate.
